The future of my samsung galaxy s (is it bright?)

Hi I have just brought a Samsung galaxy s which I really like but I have a 14 day return period and I am having some doubts.
Gingerbread has recently been announced and I am thinking that it is unlikely that the galaxy s will get an update what do you guys think?
When I had WM (touch pro 2) I could upgrade roms whenever a new device came out, I'm guessing this is more likely to happen with android on a htc device?
I suppose my question would be this, is there any devices which are being released within about a month which will be as good as my galaxy s but likely to last with good updates etc.
Sorry about my vauge questions I just dont wanna spend all this money on a phone to find support gets pulled at the first moment.

I don't think you should worry.
I haven't heard of any phones that will be confirmed to have 3.0 (Gingerbread) other then the obvious nexus one.
You will be able to download any custom rom that is written for Gingerbread. You don't really need the official update, do you? I know it is nice, but it shouldn't affect your decision of a phone.
Plus, from what I hear, the Galaxy S is pretty sweet.

samsung chairman has directed the mobile phone division to focus on the galaxy series so I wouldn't worry so much.

Honestly I don't think Gingerbread is aimed at phones at all. I think it's for netbooks and pads really.

Ok thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll be keeping the SGS then

android geeks buying desire not galaxy S

Really android geeks buying desire not galaxy S ? So no good roms and no apps for galaxy S ? Which phone to choose better from theese 2

Please guys help

How about ROM's for galaxy S ? And i now that there's a OpenDesire for HTC Desire which makes desire super phone. Will be there something for samsung ? At least fixes or smthg?

Please answer me guys, i have a few hours to decide. I dont now much about androids

The Desire is a) made by HTC, which this site has always been focused on, and b) very similar to the pre-rooted Nexus One, which is popular with hackers. The Desire has also been out a fair bit longer. So there's an established community around the Desire, and I think the non-HTCness of the Galaxy S is likely to mean it will never quite be its equal in terms of development here.
However, I've seen mention that developers are waiting for Froyo before focusing on the Galaxy S. We do have developers working on it, and there's work on porting CyanogenMod to the Vibrant (a Galaxy S series phone). So I can't guarantee it will ever match the Desire, but it's not being ignored either.

the Samsung galaxy is a pretty powerful phone great hardware other then the few gps issues and the lag which if you dont over bog the phone with apps its generally a great phone. personally i am still running the stock rom that i have highly modified including boot up and boot down and removed all the crapware from the carrier its a wicked machine if done right and a tank of a phone almost impossible to brick
if you know what you are doing you are golden if you dont know what you are doing your going to end up figuring it out
samsung galaxy s: stock rom rooted

Will be there something similar like OpenDesire for samsung galaxy S ?

[Q] Samsung Epic ROMs

Hi there.
Recently, I've been thinking about switching over from T-Mobile to Sprint and getting a Samsung Epic. The funny thing is, I usually can't stand Samsung, and the Epic comes locked into TouchWiz 3.0 (which I also hate).
I know how to Root the device, and I wanted to know if there were any "good" ROMs out there being developed for the Epic to help me escape TouchWiz and the "Robust File System"(possibly ROMs close to the structure of Stock "Vanilla" Android 2.1).
Thanks in advance!

[Q] AOSP for Verizon s4?

Hey guys, I know it hasn't shipped out yet but I am thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy s4 on Verizon and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not there will be an AOSP ROM for it. I currently have the Galaxy Nexus, and before that i had the first Droid so Touchwiz scares me! I have read a lot about there being so many different versions that the custom ROMs for this device might be lacking and now with the pure android version being released by Google it makes me even more worried that the Verizon folks are going to get left out of the pure Android experience on the Galaxy S4 - if that is the case I might have to pony up for the Note 2.
Even if its speculation I would love to hear your thoughts and I apologize if this has been addressed (I searched, I swear) or if I'm putting this in the wrong section

[Q] ICS on Samsung S6102

Hi,
Before I go for a new phone, Sometime in the news I heard Android has released ICS for Samsung galaxy Young duos. Though Samsung said they have no idea about the same. I mean it was not official from Samsung. Has any one heard about it? I would definitely like to install ICS on my mobile. This phone with Gingerbread does not allow many popular apps. Not even Candy Crush Saga
It was official ICS that I heard off not 'ICS like theme'.
